[boost] Review Request: future library (Gaskill version)

I wanted to formally request a review of my Futures library.
Latest Version: http://braddock.com/~braddock/future/

The library has matured greatly over the past year.  It has been heavily
used as a key component in a mid-sized commercial
application on both Linux and Windows.  Extensive unit tests and (just
now) documentation have been written - in fact there are more than twice
as many lines of test code and documentation than are in the library
proper.

The library incorporates many ideas from this list, from other prospective
submissions, other languages, and from academic papers.

The library does not currently use jamfiles or boostdoc (I tried I really
did).  It is a header-only library.  The documentation is currently
straight HTML, and should be very easy to translate to boostdoc if the
submission looks good.

NOTE - to avoid confusion, note that there is an older 2005 boost.future
candidate in the vault by Thorsten Schuett that is not related to mine
(although it was studied early on).

Thanks,
Braddock Gaskill
